“I'm serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer”

Shares

The rhyming monstrosity masquerading as a song lyric "I'm serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer", has been voted the worst of all time in a recent poll. Congratulations then to German electro outfit Snap!, for their 1992 smash hit Rhythm Is A Dancer, which contains the poisonous rhyme and spent six weeks at number one in the UK.

A bunch of other lyrics about 'toast', 'reindeer' and 'fat kids loving cake' help make up the top ten. Propping up the list is Van Halen's "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time" from Why Can't This Be Love. Genius.
